Chapter 240
The Jones family had no other choice but to hire the best lawyer in Berlin to try and get Michelle out of this situation. The lawyers from the Warner family, on the other hand, were not ones to be taken lightly either. They closely followed this case, causing a stir in Silverbourne City as everyone came to know about how Drake’s son almost got into trouble.
Soon after, various opinions and discussions emerged, all targeting the Warner family. Meanwhile, Michelle was still lying in the hospital with a broken leg. Soon after the lawyer from Berlin arrived, they concluded that making her Michelle’s injuries appear severe in order to delay the progress of investigation by the police would be best and adviced her as such.
So in order to avoid being sentenced, Michelle followed what her lawyer said. Whenever there was a police interrogation at her doorstep, she would pretend to be faint or feel unwell so as to evade it
As a result, the case came to a standstill. Jane and Drake learned about this situation and knew that the Jones family was just buying time. They began thinking of ways to handle it.
After sending away another police officer, Boris entered the hospital room and looked at his sister lying unconscious on the bed with anger boiling up inside him.
“Stop pretending; they’re gone,” he said angrily.
Upon hearing his words, Michelle slowly opened her eyes and looked towards her brother.
“How much longer do I have to keep pretending? I can’t stay unconscious all day long! And why are they coming so frequently? It used to be once a day, now it’s three times!” She couldn’t help but complain.
Boris‘ face turned sour upon hearing her complaints. He replied impatiently,
“Don’t you dare complain! Who asked you do something so foolish? Do you really think it’s easy dealing with Drake? In Silverbourne City, Everyone knows not to dare defy him. Even the police station can’t withstand the pressure from his side. That’s why they’re so diligent. I don’t know how to solve this mess.”
Boris was also anxious and frustrated. Continuously delaying things wasn’t a solution, they had to find a way to completely resolve this matter.

“It’s not like I did it on purpose! At that time, in that situation, I was just too angry. It’s also my fault for not handling things properly; otherwise, it wouldn’t have turned out like this,” Michelle explained, blaming herself.
“No, brother, you have to think of a solution quickly. I don’t want to keep pretending in the hospital anymore,” Michelle pleaded with her brother while pouting.
Boris furrowed his brows and didn’t know what to do.
At that moment, a cold voice sounded outside the hospital room.
“It seems like you need my help.”
Upon hearing this voice, both siblings were startled. The door slowly opened and Annie appeared in her wheelchair.
As soon as she saw Annie, Michelle immediately recognized her. Having learned about everything related to Drake before, she naturally knew about Annie as well.

“It’s you…” Michelle said coldly with disdain in her eyes.
“Hmph! You are just someone abandoned by Drake. What can you do to help me?” Michelle sneered.
If it were in the past when Annie Carlton was the woman whom Drake still cared for and was cherished by him, Michelle might have believed her words somewhat. But now everyone in Silverbourne City knows that Annie is just someone discarded by Drake–what could she possibly do for her?
Hearing Michelle’s words made Annie’s face slightly twist into an ugly expression at first but then she remembered her goal and smirked coldly.
“You’re right–I am someone abandoned by Drake–but precisely because of that, I have a reason to help you, don’t I?”
“We have a common enemy. By helping you, I’m also helping myself,” Annie said coldly.
Hearing this, Michelle immediately thought of Jane. They both had a common enemy–they both wanted Jane Bentley dead.
“Tell me, what can you do to help me?” Michelle asked with some hope and anticipation in her voice. Annie pushed her wheelchair into the hospital room and smirked again before saying,
“I naturally have my own methods. However, I won’t offer my help for free; you must agree to one condition.”
“A condition?” Michelle hesitated upon hearing that and looked at her brother.
Boris was also curious and asked Annie, “What condition? Tell us.”
“I can’t reveal the specifics right now. But rest assured it won’t harm your interests as the Jones family–on the contrary, it might even bring greater benefits,” Annie replied coldly.
“Hmph! If you’re not going to say anything specific, how can we agree? Don’t come up with any unreasonable demands later,” Michelle retorted full of resentment towards this woman who used to be by Drake’s side knowing that she herself never received his attention.
“You can trust me–I swear there will be no requests that would harm your interests as the Jones family,” Annie promised earnestly.
Afterward, Boris and Michelle both exchanged glances and began somewhat believing in what Annie was saying.
“Alright then–tell us, what can you do to help me?”
Upon hearing this request from Michelle, Annie smirked mysteriously once again and said coldly.
“Do either of you know about an organization called ‘Reincarnation Path“?”
Michelle was confused while her brother’s eyes flashed slightly–he seemed to have heard something about it before.
“Are you talkin about that mysterious organization called Reincarnation Path?” Boris asked in response.
“I’m not sure about the specifics, but I know that it’s a large international organization that engages in various shady activities. The help I can provide you is to frame this incident on them,” Annie explained.
Chapter 240
“Why?” Boris asked, confused by Annie’s words.
“You don’t need to ask top many questions–just find a way to pin this incident on that organization. Once Drake finds out, he won’t keep pursuing your sister.” Annie replied without giving an answer and instead instructed Boris to do as she said.
Although Boris still had many doubts, he had no choice but to give it a try for the sake of his only sister.
As expected, after learning about Reincarnation Path, Drake stopped pressuring the police station regarding this case.
Immediately Jane heard about this, she flew into a fury and went directly to the Warner Corporation office building to question why they let Michelle off so easily.
Seeing how furious Jane looked, Drake could understand her feelings. He then led her into the office connected with his private lounge area.
“This matter is complicated; that organization has appeared,” Drake explained in just one sentence before attempting to calm Jane down.
